It’s that time of year:

School’s back in session
Summer vacations are over
& #NWITweetup turns it up a notch

And for the 2010-11 season, We’ve included a Lecture Series.

Don’t worry, guys, it’ll be worth it.

Our first speak on the tour is the articulate, invasive Robby Slaughter.

Who is Robby Slaughter?

Robby Slaughter is the head of Slaughter Development, a workflow process company that originate in Austin, Texas and now calls Indianapolis its home.

Fortune 1000 clients, several events, and a full docket of speaking engagements, that fact we got him to come up here at all is a testament to his commitment to the growth of new technologies in the Midwest.

Robby also published his first book, “Failure: The Secret to Success.” I did an interview with him for Blog Indiana in which he talked about the book, among other things. Here’s an excerpt.

#BIN2010 might be dubbed, “The Year of the Writer.” Congratulations on publishing your book, “Failure: The Secret to Success.” Besides the implied reasons found in the title, what specifically inspired you to write the book?
Thanks! Fear of failure is the most gripping and serious problem we face at work and in life. Making mistakes is essential to learning, yet we seem to be afraid of doing anything wrong. I wrote the book to establish a conversation around what enables us to succeed in our professional and personal world. I hope that it helps others feel inspired to embrace the role of failure.
